Marty, geese are seasonal layers. Climate will have an effect on them laying as well age and light. You NEVER add artificial light trying to force laying in geese. They have a natural clock and you just don't want to screw with it. Some breeds lay more than others even though they are all seasonal. That is why we start getting African eggs in December here and right into May, they lay a large number of eggs each season.
Goose eggs make great omelets and quiche too (which is what many of the African eggs here end up as) so keep that in mind for collecting and cooking.
Happy to have 3 or 4 keepers for breeding next year out of the total hatched and growing out this year.
You havent shared pictures in a long time, how is everyone growing out? Now is when you can really see what they are going to look like and how they measure up. How did the girls do at fair?
